Abstract
The laboratory millimeter-wave and submillimeter-wave rotational spectrum of propionitrile (ethyl cyanide, C2H5CN) in its ground vibrational state has been extended through J = 70 and K(sub a) = 36. Transitions measured in this study are in the frequency range 250-610 GHz. A fit of 952 transitions including 732 new measurements to a Watson A-reduced Hamiltonian has yielded a complete set of quartic and sextic distortion constants, in addition to six octic distortion constants. Internal rotation and hyperfine splittings have not been resolved, so they are not included in the analysis. Predicted transition frequencies for a large number of additional transitions of interest to radioastronomers are provided.
